Re: [oll-user] Git workflow

Again, did you read my previous message where I laid out the basics?  It kind of sounds to me like you never actually cloned you repo to your computer, so now you're just trying to push random files from any old folder to your fork.  It doesn't work that way.  You  have to clone your fork to your local computer.  That local repo on your computer is where you do all your work.  You have to be in your local cloned repo when you do anything at all.—
